CARL GILLE, OF ESSEN, GERMANY.

HOLDER FOR UMBRELLAS, BROOIVIS, OR THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 785,304, dated March 21, 1905.

Application filed July 21, 1904. Serial No. 217,590.

1'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CARL GILLE, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of Essen, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Holders forUmbrellas,Brooms, or the Like, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for holding sticks, umbrellas, brooms, and similar objects, which is so constructed that the respective stickis caught by an elastic clamp which automatically closes around the stick when the clamp is slightly pushed.

In the accompanying drawings the holder is shown, in-

Figure 1, in a front view. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 a plan view, of the same.

The holder proper consists of a bracket a, made of cast-iron or other solid materiahwhicll. is open at the front end and fixed to a Wallboard d or directly to the wall, table, or the like. From the front end of bracket 66 two converging guide-bars b 6 project backwardly, which guide-bars are provided with longitudinal slots. In said guide-bars the clamp 0, of sheet metal or like material having a spring-like action, is guided by means of pins 6, projecting from the outer surface of the clamp and passing through the longitudinal slots of the guide-bars b b.

The front end of the clamp a is open. The stick of the umbrella,the walking-stick, or the handle of the broom or the like is pressed into the elastic clamp 0, which is slightly pushed backward, whereby the stick is clamped in as the front ends of the clamp, which slide in the converging guide-bars, are gradually closed.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is

A holder of Walking sticks, umbrellas, brooms and similar objects comprising in combination a bracket of rigid material, open at the front end and fixed to the wall, two converging slotted guide-bars extending backwardly from the front end of said bracket, a clamp of sheet metal or other spring-like material open at the front end, and pins laterally projecting from said clamp and inserted in the slots of the guide-bars, substantially as described and shown and for the purpose set forth. 7

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witv nesses.

CARL GILLE.
